Editorial and Column Ideas.

1. Why are most sites on the internet being blocked by the school? (wait … I know why!, it’s because too many students abuse the internet, and go on sites that are not “school appropriate”) I would research, and get some opinions about the school blocking internet pages (MySpace, facebook, email, and of course other sites) Most of us become annoyed, or mad when we try to go on these websites only to find out that they’re blocked, but then again the school has the right to do this because we are in school, and the computers should be used for school related topics.

2. Our school clinics serve many needs, but are our MBSH students abusing the fact that we have one? Many students tell their teachers they are sick in order to get a pass to the clinic, then pretend to be sick and tell the nurse that they want to go home because they are in fact very “sick”, they think believe they are being “cool” but all they’re doing is throwing away valuable learning time. Also what about the clinic’s policy about privacy? Should the parents be notified how many times their child goes to the clinic, and why they are there? Ex. Having a disease or are pregnant.

3. School lunch, a topic that is talked about almost every day. Many of us bring our lunch from home, or buy it here at school, it would be a great idea if students could be allowed to leave school for lunch, like having about 45 minutes to an hour to go and eat where ever they like (Fast food, Café, or maybe even a home cooked meal) Many students here at MBHS are constantly complaining about lunch, whether we bring our lunch or not, we all agree that it is extremely crowded at lunch time, therefore why shouldn’t students be able to leave for lunch?

4. There is no doubt that students here at MBSH have used their cell phones or IPods during school hours at least once. Electronics are not a bad thing at all, but security, and teachers … better yet all of our school staff makes it seem like a big deal when in fact we’ve all seen at least one member of school staff with some type of electronic. If MBHS students were allowed to use their cell phones or MP3’s during lunch or have a free time period or recess, then we wouldn’t be as tempted to use our electronic devices during class. We would be able to communicate with our parents or friends during the time that is given to us, rather than using it during class which causes us to not pay attention in class, or get caught using it and get it taken away.

5. We’ve all seen movies, and TV shows, or even when you’re at Publix … PDA (public display of affection) but is it okay to see it when you’re at school?
